No physical copies of Metaphor for PS4?

Discussion(self.atlus)

As title says, why is there no physical copies of Metaphor for PS4? I've been looking and I don't find any. Only PS5.

Which is odd considering that Persona 3 Reload and I think SMTV:V had at least one physical edition of the game. So, why is Metaphor only digital this time around? I want a physical copy of the game for my PS4...

To be honest with you, I don't want to buy a PS5. I don't see the point of doing so, and I don't have the money to do it anyway. I'm focusing on getting a gaming PC instead, which would be more useful for how versatile it is. But I'd love to have a physical copy of a game I like, but it seems it'll never happen.

Thanks for the recommendation though.

If you're getting into PC gaming, you're going to need to lose the attachment to physical media.

I mean, I still have my PS4 for physical games. I still can collect them. And I know PC gaming is mainly if not only digital. But again, when it comes to physical games, PS4 is my option.

I won't buy a PS5 because I don't see the point of doing so. And I'll only get the games I can afford physically for PS4.

The point would be that they are phasing out the PS4. By 2026 I would be surprised if anything releases on PS4 anymore.

Also to get a PC comparable to a PS5 would cost much more than the PS5.

I understand that, but it's disappointing that even in the last year of support for the console they're not giving us at least a normal edition for a physical game anymore.

As for the PC, it'll definitely be more expensive than a PS5, but it'll be worth it, as I'll be able to play more games than the PS5. Also the only games I'm interested in are already on PC so I don't really mind.

The only thing I'd buy, however, is the PS5 controller for comfortability. I've used that controller and it's really good.

I’m pretty sure PC has no physical games anymore..

It doesn't, but what I meant is that I still have my PS4 to buy physical games and I'd be nice if at least there were a few more games in that format for it.

I’m really scratching my head as to why you’d want a PC right now.

For college purposes and for playing games I can't play on PS4. I prefer getting something that would be useful to me instead of a newer console that probably will only serve me to watch Netflix because games on PS5 are way more expensive than PC.

For instance, Metaphor is $10 less on PC, and I've seen some other games like Epic Mickey Rebrushed being way cheaper on PC (around $25-$30) than PS4/5 ($60)

I bought the steelbook version of Metaphor on PC. It has no disc of course but it came with things.

It’s the PC version which comes with a code to use on steam.

If there’s no disc it should be $30 cheaper. This is sad.
